I had SO much fun at Salseo’s Cumbia class. The environment was positive and welcoming. I learned and also laughed so much! I’ll be back again for sure.

Now THIS! is community building !!

This event is such an incredible queer space. The instructors are so nice, and really have the ability to put you at ease in your own body. Just a couple minutes in to the warm-up they had everyone giggling and moving and shaking! Can't wait to be at the next one and see what Salseo does next!
